Question Ground Clearance Question

I was planning on getting a front airdam and a back wraparound- the ones that arent stock. If i got those lowering springs that lowered it like 1.5 inches or whatever, would I still be able to go over speed bumps and stuff with the bodykit?

the answer is yes....

drive over questionable speed bumps diagnally for extra safety.

However carefully when you get a flat tire, then your f**Ked.

Personal experience..

I remember driving an Acura NSX into the shop one day. So little ground clearence the water-channel in the parking lot had to be taken diagonally or attempt to munch under the front skirt, and we had to use our two-post lifts, because it couldn't clear the collapsed lift arms...

Is there an Air-Dam / Side Skirt / Rear combination that works with standard suspension (thinking maybe only dropping a half-inch at most, just stiffening the ride) that won't require too much modification to driving style to use? I drive like a maniac currently over speed bumps, because my daily driver has scary clearence.

And if there is such a combination, what is it called, and /who/ carries first gen kits anymore?

All the places I look are all FC-FD stuff only. >.<
